    Most premium controller I've ever held, however, I'm starting to notice some drift which is not good for a 2 month old controller worth nearly $200...

    This controller has been a literal game changer. I’m only disappointed I didn’t buy one sooner. You really notice how much better it is once you get it all set up and then switch back to the standard controller. My KD is way up since I changed to this controller. With FPS games thousandths of a second can be all the difference. This makes you faster and more precise and with the paddles you no longer have to take. Your fingers off other controls giving you the advantage.

    Good control with Xbox and works seamlessly with pc. Feels a little clunky compared to the standard control but then again that is the trade off to have such customizable and swappable components.

    Amazing controller. What a difference. The weight and balance is night and day compared to a stock controller. The ability to fine tune the tension of the toggles is amazing. Any serious gamer should own one.

    Really like all the new added features. New grips feel great controller as a whole feels fantastic. LT & RT Have new lil grip textures feel pretty good nice lil addition. The new thumb sticks are better than the old ones, but my only complaint though is it only comes with one tall thumb stick. Also wanna mention the tightening of the thumb sticks is really cool. Having 3 controller profiles for different games over the old 2 nice addition too. The carrying case with the ability to charge while in the case is very awesome it can also be charged outside case with a lil stand like thing (doesn’t need the lil stand) it can still charge and play like v1 even though not too happy with the battery being internal not removable on v2. Very nice to have such a long usb c wired cord too. Came with 14 day ultimate game pass (Minecraft Dungeons just came out on gamepass :) overall very satisfied with purchase!

    The Perfect Controller

    I can't even think of a single negative thing to say about this controller. It's basically perfect, feels great in the hand, and has loads of unique and features. I think the three things that really make this controller a "must have" for any gamer are 1) the adjustable inputs/stick tension. Medium and high bother feel fantastic. Normal controllers don't have enough stick tension for me. Setting the triggers to half just feels right. 2) the swappable sticks. The dome top and tall stick combo do actually make a difference for competitive shooters and 3) The paddle placement is perfect. Assuming this controller holds up for a while, and the QC is in shape, I'd highly recommend.

    My 8th elite controller. Works great and feels great. Paddle locations are the best out of other controllers with paddles.
